[Android Apps and Games] NicholasQ:
Hmm, am I reading this correctly (new to using betterbatterystats+)? It shows firepaper as having nearly 5000 partial wake locks in the past 4 hours, equaling a 2.4% battery loss. This doesn't make sense because nobody else is reporting any issues.

I probably have no idea what I'm talking about.

In case it is accurate: nexus 5. Rooted, xposed. Firepaper is set to 30min refresh intervals.

I will edit out this post if turns out to me reading this wrong.
[Android Apps and Games] jessecoleman:
Hi,

I'll start off by saying this app is awesome. I like the feature to darken the image. It helps to keep the user from being distracted from the main content by the wallpaper.

But I think it'd be even cooler if there was also an option to blur the image. There's an app that does this to your image already https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kasumbi.blurfree

The blur effect can also be seen used very successfully in apps such as Shuttle music player, Google wallet, fusion messenger and more.

I hope you consider implementing something of this nature. It would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a github for a library to accomplish something like this. https://github.com/kikoso/android-stackblur

I have it set to change background every six hours but it seems to change every 4 or two hours. Any way to fix this.

[Android Apps and Games] V@no:
are you sure it's not caused by switching orientation? (there is a setting for that)
[Android Apps and Games] sam5154:
Nice, I was thinking to ask for this option too. but after adding this, I think it would be nice to add another option to choose images from image flow or liked/favourited images.
[Android Apps and Games] Krunk83:
I saw that setting and I'll turn it off. Wasn't sure if it effected me since I never view my homescreen in landscape. Unless it automatically does it for any landscape situation, like viewing pictures or video and it updates in the background.
[Android Apps and Games] V@no:
I believe it's not only related to homescreen, but to any apps.
[Android Apps and Games] V@no:
Today I had a weird issue: black screen with message that there are no more images to display and I need wifi and 50% battery.

Even though it was only 35% battery and my setting is set to update only over wifi, it should have shown me cached images.

So, I've unchecked "update only over wifi" and did 3 finger tap several times, after each tap I saw network activity, but no image showed ever. After clearing cache it finally showed new image.

This is first time I've seen this bug.
[Android Apps and Games] Krunk83:
I'm getting that issue too but from a restored nand. It's about 40% battery but I am plugged in and it still won't show images. I figured since it's plugged in it would detect the power. I'm also on wifi.
[Android Apps and Games] jonahs:
Is it just me or does the "Transportation" category actually say "Transporation"? Also, the downloaded photos still don't reflect my changes in settings. I seem to get photos from all categories no matter what I choose...
[Android Apps and Games] sohebq:
A bit strange issue going on with this app. On wifi it works fine, on data netwrk, the data connects and disconnects after every sec, if I replace it with another plain wallpaper, no issues.
[Android Apps and Games] pawlik76:
Retain image across reboots?

Would it be possible to include an option to retain an image across reboots? (with the current version a different image is displayed after a reboot).

Thanks, Pawlik

Hi all. Just downloaded. Great app. I am on a Nexus 5 and it seems to work but my images never auto update. I've tried changing the update interval multiple times. Wallpaper never swaps. It will only swap if I do a 3 finger tap. Any ideas? Thanks.

*Every screen off option works just fine. However, any time interval simply doesn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] Dante Smith:
Chainfire thank you for this great app!

What about to add the possibility to check unwanted wallpapers? So we can decide which cached images to exclude (maybe with a checkbox on History Browser)...

Thank you again :)
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
It's at the very top of the app screen... "Upgrade to Pro" ?

Not sure what is going on here. Maybe the service is being killed before it has a chance to swap?

What would be the use? How often do you see the same image again? I doubt you'd actually use this feature much after you've gotten used to the app.
[Android Apps and Games] antisp1n:
Strange. I don't see the option. A herp-derp moment?

Same here.
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
Interesting... could be a build issue. Can you try this APK and see if it still shows as "Pro" ?

If it does, please go to Settings -> Apps -> 500 Firepaper -> Clear data and see if that helps
[Android Apps and Games] suku_patel_22:
It's okay now
[Android Apps and Games] Dante Smith:
I'm not talking about same image showed twice! I would like to exlude images i dislike. If you choose to see popular images don't you think they will show again in some days? Anyway thank you for the answer.

[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
So - have you actually had this problem happen to you several times that it actually warrants hours of coding? Or are you just inventing a problem that may or may not happen sometime in the future?
[Android Apps and Games] Dante Smith:
It was just a suggestion. If you don't like it don't care about it. Just say it takes time and i don't want to implement that function for free. Don't need to be rude. Thanks anyway your apps are very good.

[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
This has nothing to do with being rude, if you think so, you're in the wrong place and shouldn't try talking to developers. If you request a feature, you need to provide valid arguments why it is needed - you have completely failed to do so. I've even asked you pointed questions to figure out if there really is a valid reason for this, but instead of answering, you're getting all defensive and complaining about rudeness.
[Android Apps and Games] Jamin13:
When the images are used for the wallpaper, are they displayed at the original resolution or made to fit the device screen resolution? This is just a though when I saw a picture of an owl with part of its head cropped off lol.

Problem on i9300/CM 11 - no images

Hi,

Since a few days (and the app 1.5+ as I remember) I have a problem with the app. Livewallpaper and Daydream show text "no images available". Wifi is turned on, battery is full. Clearing the cache (from the app and from CM 11 apps managing level) didn't help, reinstalling the app - either. Still no images.

What is interesting - History browser shows latest pictures (and I can preview them) and the cache of the app (on the internal card) is not empty and changes (grows) from time to time.

Anybody help?

[Android Apps and Games] ciku720:
Great app

This app is amazing! Thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
I'm not sure how to diagnose this unfortunately, a few people have reported this but no idea whatsoever where the cause may be, and have not been able to reproduce the issue ever.
[Android Apps and Games] mattcooper:
Not sure if you've seen my question before CF... Have posted a few times but no reply. Is there any way to implement a keyword function? So we could input a keyword (i.e. Space) and the app will display wallpapers tagged with that word/hashtag, instead of a category? Thanks, and sorry if I'm being a pain in the a**e!
[Android Apps and Games] Chainfire:
As you might have suspected - no.
[Android Apps and Games] makkles:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpsollie:
so, here's the situation:

I got a Huawei G700 with a MTK6589 chipset

- I think I totally soft-bricked my phone. It does not go into recovery, neither does it start up normally. it shows the initial boot screen, and then reboots.

- the fastboot mode works, but badly: it starts, but windows AND linux fail to recognize it properly. this could be because my pc is running windows 8, so I'll post the details about the linux info here.

- the fastboot function also reboots after 5 sec idle (this could be due to watchdog protection, I don't know)

this is what my linux /var/log/messages says about the phone booting in fastboot mode

why is the fastboot program uncapable to detect it? is it unrepairable bricked or not?

the phone is rooted, has its stock rom (4.2.1), and its stock recovery program. Any intentions to replace the last one failed
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RVR:
have u downloaded the proper usb drivers for ur phone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpsollie:
for win32, I took the drivers from xda: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2412017.

it allowed me to let fancy flash programs detect the phone, but they were uncapable of performing any communication to it.

for linux, I never read fastboot needed a driver. does it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RVR:
i dont think fr linux drivers are reqd...but not sure:confused::confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
No drivers for Linux but you do need to create android rules, same thing for adb on a Linux box
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpsollie:
I guess I found a way to communicate with the device:

if I use the windows tools, I can write images to a specific address, ignoring all watchdog / security settings

I tried it with the "update" images on the site specified above, but that had no luck.

to fix this, I'd need all images (preloader, boot, android, custom, ...) which I can rawwrite to the device address. how do I get those?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpsollie:
*bump* no ideas?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpsollie:
OK, due to many trial and error (write image ... to address ... with ... bytes), and a thread here at xda, I got the phone back up-and-running. now I only need to find a way to write the IMEI numbers back into the hardware (which are of course at the back of the phone ...), and we're ready 4 business agin. A little stupid IMO to hardcode a MAC address into a device, but not an IMEI number, but anyway, nearly solved! :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justmpm:
Sorry guys, but changing the IMEI number is illegal in many countries and even providing the means to do it, or discussing how to do it is also considered illegal. So I had to do a little bit of thread cleaning. Sorry to the people whose posts were removed, I know you were just trying to be helpful!:good:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AzWizzard:
My brother-in-law had a Note II that he used when he was down in Mexico. It is model SGH-I317M. It currently has a Telcel Sim card in it. When it in the US it roams on AT&T. When you boot it up, it says AT&T Telcel.

Anyway, he passed away and I got put in charge of getting everything off his phone that was important (Pictures / Movies / ETC) and then to reset the phone and sell it.

I had some questions as far as can this model be used in the US on AT&T if an AT&T Sim card is put in it? Or... will it only really work down in Mexico?

Just trying to tell where / who I should sell it to. Here in the US or down in Mexico. If at all possible, I would rather sell it here.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rangercaptain:
That phone is a Canadian model. It works anywhere.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] AzWizzard:
Thanks. So all I have to do is put a US AT&T Sim card in it and it will work fine?

I just want to make sure, I don't want to screw anyone over that I sell it to. ;)

build number is from your rom, do whatever you're running is based on me7

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] HurcoVMX42:
So when I rooted my phone I must have had a different build number? I really can't even remember how I rooted my phone. I guess the older I get the worse it will get.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
Yeah when you rooted your phone you were on stock mdk, for all intents and purposes you are still on mdk firmware, just running a rom based off code from newer firmware.

Like I said there already is a topic about battery life, so IF you want to share some knowledge you should do it there, not here. And I dont think 3 hours of wifi is moderate, that is light, plus you need to note screen on time.

[HTC Rezound] geronimo48:
I recently bought a replacement Rezound, which has Hboot 2.25/Radios 1.22.10 0421r &0424r. I have unlocked the bootloader and installed TWERP 2.6.3.0 and Infection 2.9.1. I am sure I should have thought of this before installing Infection, but my battery life is worse than my original phone and it runs hot. No reboots or other problems.

I have searched for instructions and recommendations for upgrading Hboot, but haven't found anything clear enough to overcome my nervousness about this process. I have one bricked phone on the desk in front of me and I don't want another. I will be grateful to anyone who can recommend what Hboot to flash (I'm thinking 2.27 or 2.28?) and guide me through the process.

Thanks,
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
look at my downgrade/upgrade guide here in the rezound q&a.....the 3 ph98img ota files are the updates you want
[HTC Rezound] geronimo48:
Your initial comment, "For this you MUST BE S-OFF FOR DOWNGRADING with a relocked bootloader and make sure you are not on a custom or hex edited hboot or you can brick your device." stopped me. My phone is S-on and Hboot is unlocked. Do I have to be S-off and unlocked to flash the three OTAs?
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
yes thats for downgrading with the ruu.exe's not for updating...to update just follow the OTA part with the ph98img.zips
[HTC Rezound] geronimo48:
I downloaded all three files and checked md5 - all checked out. I then put the 1st file on the root directory of my ex sd card, renamed it PH98IMG.zip and rebooted into the unlocked bootloader. Bootloader recognized the zip, the progress bar appeared and the file transferred. Then the progress bar disappeared and nothing else happened. There was no instruction to press Volume up. I repeated everything and got the same result. I can still boot into TWERP and my phone still starts up with Infection 2.9.1.

Let me say at this point, THANK GOD NOTHING BAD HAPPENED! :p

Any suggestions?
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
hmmm for s and g's relock the bootloader....are you absolutely sure you are on 2.25...the first ph98img is hboot 2.27 with the firmware....also just rename it to just PH98IMG if you type the zip with it the phone will read it as PH98IMG.zip.zip and wont work
[HTC Rezound] geronimo48:
I am looking at my Hboot screen. It says:

I transferred the 1st file to my SD card and deleted "this 1st " from the name. I watched it reading in Hboot and saw "PH98IMG.ZIP".

I'll try relocking the bootloader.

Thanks.

EDIT - Looks like the bootloader needs to be locked. The first file is finished, starting on the second.

EDIT 2 - OK. I can't get the 2nd file to flash with the bootloader locked or unlocked.

BUT, I now have:

HBOOT-2.27.000

RADIO-2.22.20.0801r/2.22.10.0803r
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
ah thanks for the info bud much appreciated....glad relocking it worked for you
[HTC Rezound] geronimo48:
Please see EDIT 2. I can't flash the 2nd file with the bootloader locked or unlocked.

I can boot into Hboot, but when I try to open Recovery I first get the green arrows (circle and down), then I get the red triangle with exclamation mark. When I booted the phone I got the setup wizard and a notice that my phone was just activated. Of course it was already activated. I suppose this just means everything has been wiped and I'm starting fresh with the firmware from the 1st downloaded zip. I didn't go through setup.

Any ideas?
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
yes....after 1st ota phone is suppose to activate through verizon
[HTC Rezound] geronimo48:
Any ideas on how to install the other two OTAs?
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
all 3 install through bootloader....must have a relocked bootloader...the other 2 ph98img.zip's are not firmware or rom....just radios, hboot, and required system files for them
[HTC Rezound] geronimo48:
I noticed they were smaller. I installed the 1st OTA with the bootloader relocked. The 2nd OTA wouldn't complete installation locked or unlocked. I reflashed the first OTA just to make sure and the process worked flawlessly. The 2nd OTA acts like it is loading, but I don't get the notice to press Vol Up.

If you think of a way that might work to get the other OTAs installed, let me know.

Thanks again for all your help.
[HTC Rezound] drhile:

[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
hmm strange....works for some doesnt for others...i know flyhalf posted a method of this somewhere for s-on users...required extra step i think
[HTC Rezound] geronimo48:
I guess you haven't thought of anything.

I am thinking of having another go at installing all three OTAs. I have installed CWM and TACHYON. I don't have FCs or bootloops, but my battery life is poor, the camera doesn't work and the phone runs hot (>110). I have tried SetCPU with limited success.

You and others have stated that outdated HBOOT/radios can cause overheating, so I want to try.

Question: Do I need to do a factory reset and start over with the 1st OTA?

Thanks again for all of your help.
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
If you're at hboot 2.27, that's not your problem, you have other issues, being you're s-on, how did you flash the kernel for Tachyon?

as stated there is a method with the last two foe s-on users...having to use fastboot i believe
[HTC Rezound] geronimo48:
Thanks. I'll post if I figure it out.
[HTC Rezound] REV3NT3CH:
according to flyhalf as the this 3rd was uploaded by him you just need a relocked bootloader for s-on....im s-off though but can guarantee links work as i just used them...but in all seriouness if your not really using stock i highly suggest gaining s-off as it will make life easier....plus it has less of a chance on fully and permanently bricking your rez...with s-on there isnt really much you can do in a brick
[HTC Rezound] geronimo48:
Yes, I know your position on this and I am seriously considering it. However, right now I am dealing with a massive overheating problem with TACHYON and trying to get that fixed before a trip for work next week.

Thanks again.
